Billy Bob Thornton's quotes
- [on his Academy Award nomination for Best Actor (Sling Blade (1996)] Getting the nomination is like gravy. Winning would be like whatever is better than gravy.
- I was the fattest baby in Clark County, Arkansas. They put me in the newspaper. It was like a prize turnip.
- Acting is playing--it's actually going out on a playground with the other kids and being in the game, and I need that. Writing satisfies that part of myself that longs to sit in my room and dream.
- I can't sit through plays and musical theatre. I just want to run up onstage and mess up their hair and turn over the furniture.
- It's not that I don't understand it. But people think if you speak with an English accent it somehow makes you smarter.
- I've been married five times, and people think that's some bizarre thing, yet I've got buddies who refuse to get married and have sex with 15 people a week. I'm like "Which is better?" At least I was trying.
- People think the hard thing for an actor is crying and screaming, but that's easy. What's hard is a character who never tips his hand, who toes the line all the time. The hard stuff is never telling yourself, "Hey, I better do something here.".
- Most of the movies that are easy to get financed are movies about models in gladiator uniforms and wacky comedies with kids who get caught with sheep in hotel rooms.
